Measuring the Emissions and Energy Footprint of the ICT Sector: Implications for Climate Action

Digitalization is increasing rapidly worldwide, requiring more energy, and resulting in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The report uses a key framework for categorizing energy use and emissions, the greenhouse gas protocol corporate standard. Second, the report addresses the policy and regulatory implications inferred from this data and the examination of these issues through several country case studies.

Climate Resilience and PPPs

Many risks associated with climate change will be felt hardest by lower income countries, as their ability to prevent and respond to the impacts of climate change is limited. Against this background there is an urgent need for the development and finance of climate-smart infrastructure solutions. PPPs potentially provide a useful framework under which the public and private sectors can pool and coordinate their financial and technological resources more efficiently.
